Through the help of a new student, and a group project, he slowly learns how to build relationships and connect with fellow classmates. This story can help my students identify with various characters and learn how to make others feel included. ]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1487214825 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1487222967 Students can learn from this character's Asian-American family during the World War II era. The main character is striving to raise money for the war, but faces backlash due to her heritage. Students can learn about the character's family traditions, how family heritage is key, and how inclusion is a necessity. ]]> 2021-05-03 20:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1487222967 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1487224559 This book focuses on a young girl that earned a scholarship to attend a private school. The young girl struggles to fit due to a variety of reasons. Not only can children connect to the main character's inability to fit in, but they can learn from the girl's diverse background. This book is another example of how students can connect to various characters with different cultures and families. ]]> 2021-05-03 20:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1487224559 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1487230725 My goal is to create a more inclusive classroom. I think this goal can be met through diverse read alouds. I aim to set aside time to read aloud to my students. I am finding that more openness, vivid classroom conversations, and connections tend to happen during this time. With this process occurring, I think read alouds could be used to strengthen classroom inclusion. Books that are diverse and have characters with rich backgrounds will better serve my students. I hope to see more inclusion and connections occurring in my class with the following books. ]]> 2021-05-03 20:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1487230725 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1495753633 This website provides a variety of read aloud suggestions. I feel building a classroom library with more culturally diverse books will better support my students. Allowing them to be exposed to various cultures and find ways to connect to it is something I am striving to do next year. ]]> 2021-05-05 20:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1495753633 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499819003 2021-05-06 19:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499819003 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499830421 I found this website to be extremely helpful.

All ideas are short and simple, but serve as easy guides in supporting students. ]]> 2021-05-06 19:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499830421 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499853477 This site is helpful in that it provides different assistance techniques in relation to a level. The levels range from 1-5 and provide various tips for an educator to keep in mind while work with ELL students. ]]> 2021-05-06 19:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499853477 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499865695 While learning about ELL students, I learned that small classroom adjustments can be made to better serve them. The following are a few ideas that I can implement if I receive and ELL student. ]]> 2021-05-06 19:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1499865695 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1500432935 This is one of three boards I have in my classroom. I normally post the daily agenda on this board so the students have an idea as to what we are learning. I could also post the material/agenda in different languages to better serve my ELL students. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1500432935 carliedillinger https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1500438318 Each week, my students share a quote that has made an impact on them. I think this activity can be used to better support my ELL students. Students quotes often range in ideas and often lead to great classroom discussions. ELL students could share quotes in their native language and explain to the class why it is valuable to them. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/carliedillinger/6mrnvycb9n5b/wish/1500438318
